Hillview Middle consistently ranks in the top half of California middle schools, with a 4-star rating in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's student performance in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics is generally higher than the state average, but lower than the district average. Notably, Hillview Middle's Hispanic and Special Education student subgroups perform particularly well, ranking in the top 20% and top 25% of California middle schools, respectively. However, the school's White student subgroup and English Language Learner (ELL) student subgroup perform below the state average. Hillview Middle has also seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 5.5% in 2017-2018 to 22.9% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the district average of 18.8%.

Hillview Middle has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 79.83% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly higher than the district average of 67.99%. This suggests that the school may face additional challenges in terms of resource allocation, family engagement, and addressing the unique needs of this population. By addressing these areas and building on its existing strengths, such as the strong performance of its Hispanic and Special Education student subgroups, Hillview Middle can continue to improve and provide a high-quality education for all its students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
